ASLACKBY MANOR

Identity: confirmed — The registry name, location, associated place, TNA/MDR record F291844, and the surviving archive leads all identify the historical manor of Aslackby in Lincolnshire. Historic England separately identifies the surviving Aslackby Manor House in Aslackby and Laughton parish at National Grid Reference TF 08416 30413. Medieval research also identifies Aslackby as a distinct manor and Templar preceptory without subsidiary member manors, supporting the identification as the exact Aslackby manor rather than a same-named manor elsewhere.
Representative point: 52.86030, -0.39114
Basis: documented_manor_house — The point is the documented surviving Aslackby Manor House, listed Grade I by Historic England at NGR TF 08416 30413; the WGS84 coordinate is an OS-grid conversion/geotag for that building.
Point confidence: high
Boundary status: representative_point_only
Boundary period:
Boundary confidence: none
Boundary basis: The available web evidence establishes the manor-house site and confirms Aslackby as a distinct historical manor, but does not provide an accessible manor map, survey, rental plan, mapped parcel schedule, or explicit perimeter from which the historical manorial territory can be reconstructed defensibly. The modern civil parish, the modern Aslackby Estate, and the wider Templar or Hospitaller administrative estate are not substituted for the manor boundary.

Warnings / uncertainty:
- The representative point is safe to inject as the manor-house location.
- No historically defensible polygon was found in the accessible evidence.
- Do not substitute the modern Aslackby and Laughton civil-parish boundary or the modern Aslackby Estate boundary for the historical manor extent.
- The 1421 estreats, 1654 rental, 1852 rental, and later valuation/rentals may contain the evidence needed for a future parcel-level reconstruction, but their detailed contents or maps were not accessible here.
